They've Given You a Number...

Years ago, soon after discovering Two Peas in a Bucket, I also discovered a series of challenges posted on the forums there, and an addict was born. Along the way, I met someone who loved challenges even more than I did, Debbi Tehrani. She's so very inventive, and her multi-layered, varicolored pages are full of heart. Plus, she always makes room for thoughtful journaling. When Debbi started CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration, she took challenges to a whole new level. Instead of just focusing on a single task, the CSI challenges are built around case files. They begin with a "scene" and color scheme, and then provide multiple options and ideas for incorporating "evidence" and "testimony."

This layout is a tribute to the cake of cakes, the lemon cake my husband requested from Grand Cafe & Bakery for his birthday. In line with the challenge, I worked in the colors from the scene/scheme (the brown appears in the photos, so I didn't add more). I absolutely love this color palette.

For my evidence, I used flowers, sparkles, and clouds.

For my testimony, the idea of a "small taste" was a springboard for the page as well as the journaling.

Use Your Words

"Word-work is sublime...because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference -- the way in which we are like no other life.

We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives. "

Toni Morrison
